“No mortal man has ever served at the same time his passions and his best interests.”

“Every man is the architect of his own fortune.”

“If a man is ambitious for power, he can have no better supporters than the poor: They are not worried about their own possessions, since they have none, and whatever will put something in their pockets is right and proper in their eyes." (Jugurthine War 86.3)”

“They envy the distinction I have won; let them, therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.”

“Седнал - той говори едно, а прав -друго.”

“Man is mortal. This is his fate. Man pretends not to be mortal. That is his sin. Man is a creature of time and place, whose perspectives and insights are invariably conditioned by his immediate circumstances.”

“If a man does not work passionately - even furiously - at being the best in the world at what he does, he fails his talent, his destiny, and his God.”
